We had a great time strolling around the streets of
Heritage Village and
Baluarte. To continue on, here are some photos taken during the latter part of our
Vigan Kalesa Tour. Tourist spots include Pagburnayan, Bantay Bell Tower, St. Augustine Parish Church, St. Paul Cathedral.

Love that massive red brick structure that stands proudly on a small hilltop. It's a famous setting of many action star legend Fernando Poe Jr's movies.

Our day of stay in the province of Vigan is relatively not enough. There are so many historic places we've left unseen, especially the Paoay Church and my much anticipated encounter with the authentic Vigan empanada and bagnet which sadly did not happen. *sigh* It seems that we all wanted to comeback soon for a much longer sojourn, a
staycation perhaps? But anyway, you may want to read my travel notes on our Vigan Kalesa Tour

I hope to visit Vigan one day. have a nice weekend
